A2Gold has commenced its completely financed 30,000m drilling programme at the Eastside Gold Project in Nevada, US.
The project is located in Esmeralda County, around 20 miles north-west of Tonopah, and currently contains an inferred resource of 1.4 million ounces (moz) of gold and 8.8moz of silver, with mineralisation extending in all directions.

It encompasses a land package of 92km², including several high-priority zones such as McIntosh and Castle, and other yet-to-be-identified exploration targets.
The reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme is a substantial step up from the company’s previously disclosed 18,000m campaign, and is intended to systematically enhance and expand the existing resources, while evaluating several high-priority targets throughout the larger Eastside land package.
Drilling activities are expected to persist throughout the year, contingent upon results and operational circumstances.
The 2026 drilling campaign will concentrate on step-out and infill drilling in known mineralisation regions, in addition to exploration drilling aimed at assessing new targets identified through geophysics, geological mapping and recent reinterpretation of historical data.

By GlobalDataA2Gold CEO Peter Gianulis said: “The start of this 30,000m drill programme marks an important milestone for A2Gold and underscores our commitment to aggressively advance Eastside.
“With a strong balance sheet and the programme fully funded, we expect to be drilling consistently throughout the year. Our objective is clear: to continue expanding and upgrading the resource while unlocking the broader exploration potential of this highly prospective district-scale asset.”
A2Gold’s technical team is managing the drill programme, which will use multiple RC rigs to guarantee consistent progress.
Assay results will be published as they are obtained, analysed and confirmed.
